Re: Angelonia

Hi Everyone,  
First time I've written to this list, though I've belonged for awhile. 
I appreciate the good information given and the fact that we stay on
topic pretty well.  Fewer messages to slog through every day.  Too bad
about the cheese ball spam.

Does anyone know anything about a plant called Angelonia.  I bought it
at a nursery that had no other information about it thinking that surely
there would be something in one of my books about it.  The only thing
I've found was in "Stearns Dictionary of Plant Names for Gardeners." 
They say that Angelonia is the "latinized version of the South American
vernacular name of one of the species of these perennial herbs and
sub-shrubs."  Scrophulariaceae family.  That at least gives me an idea
of how hardy the plant is in my zone (5), but I'd still like to know
more.  Does anyone here have experience with this plant?  Bloom time,
sun exposure, etc.?  It has lovely purple flowers and, at least now,
looks more like an herbaceous plant than a subshrub.  I'll probably
overwinter it this year in the greenhouse.

TIA

Dee
